    + car crash and injuries

    He lost his passion because he "made it."

    Not to take away from Pac, one of the best wins of any 40+ year old ever. Thurman was pretty well consensus among the 3 best WW's going into the fight.

    Only on this forum can you get someone saying a world champ isnt very good. If He's better than 90% of welters then by definition he's good.

    147 is a weak division. 200 for example has Briedis, Usyk, Gassiev and Dorticos all of whom are twice as good as Thurman.

    It's a joke that people rated Thurman p4p.

    Someone can be good rather than p4p. People on here deal only in hyperbole. It's ok to say the guy is overrated but to claim "I always knew he wasnt very good" is twitter level overdramaticism.

    I've been saying for years that Thurman wasnt a good fighter and hes one of the most overrated fighters in the sport.

    I didnt jump on the bandwagon because he lost to a grandpa.

    I've been leading the Thurman isnt good charge since he got his ass kicked in the late rounds by Guerrero.

    Thurman reminds me of Devon Alexander. He was hyped up as the next big p4p guy. And then we found out that they're just not good.

    Doesn't matter. Thurman has the best resume outside of pac in 148. If some like thurman is weak then what does that sayd about the division?

    I’m talking about other fights too and he’s the only welter to take apart Brook.

    He’s one of those fighters who does everything well but nothing great.

    This is nothing more than an attempt to tarnish Pacquiao's win over a prime 30 year old fighter who probably weighed somewhere in the neighborhood of 160-165lbs on fight night. Floyd fans criticize a 40 year old fighter who stood and fought toe to toe with an elite welterweight, yet praise Floyd Mayweather for draining a 21 year old Canelo Alvarez, claiming it was one of the best wins of his career. This is the kind of BS that makes Floyd fans worse than Floyd himself, pathetic really.

    What significant win did Floyd have at 40?

    All you do is throw around excuses that fit your own agenda.
    It's easy to say that the long layoffs and injuries have taken a toll on Thurman. Just take a look at the Lopez fight.

    She is from Nepal. Apparently they met in a Bar she worked in when he was on holiday. Felt bad that was the first time she saw him box against Pacquiao.
